Don't Put .Gov In Charge of Rights

. . . or this will happen.

California Suddenly Removes All Models of Popular Pistol from State Roster

Already faced with a restricted supply due to state law, California residents will see their options for legal handguns diminish yet again.

"Safe" firearms... Eez gon. Eez not safe!

Surely we can all agree that the whole notion of God given rights is so passé.

That ship has sailed for the vast swaths of Americans years ago.

I recall a story where some ***hole calling itself a king tried something similar to this.

It did not turn out so well for that ***hole.

Of course, that king was not pushing around a bunch of candy *** pansies. Now California? That's a bunch of candy *** pansies.

Yet we do every day. Our complacency over our adult lifetimes has allowed this to come to a head and here we are far to deep to effect any changes.
I don't see enough back bone in current society to even start to make changes. When you can buy off the population with a ridiculously small "Covid" check and then send out another to finalize the deal it is a solid indicator we are totally ****ed.

Girly men and very strange woman. Not all but just enough.

Says so right in the article. They have to pay tribute to the state.
Hitler would be most proud.

More gun companies should treat California the way Barret treated them.

 

[HCRMPD1]

Why would any gun company want to locate itself in California? A handgun registry, really?

Maryland has same law. Beretta was there until recently.

The California market is enormous. IIRC 37 million people.

California continues to restrict rights. They really want to ban all guns in private citizens' hands, but continue to do so incrementally. The only thing that can possibly stop them is a SCOTUS smackdown, since Cali voters will approve any and all government intrusion and diminishment of previously-held rights.

Sounds like a great market to suddenly tell, "We will neither sell nor support any already-sold items located in California. All warranties are void while the firearm is located there. We support Americans, doing American things."

Or a metric crap-ton of voters mad as hell that they can't get service for or sales of firearms there. That would probably upset enough of them to go the tar-and-feather route.

I'm not suggesting anything here, only stating that at one time, that was the punishment for an oathbreaker politician.

Or people should stop thinking the government is special.
No special rights.
If the citizen can't have a gun, then no guns for the police or protective details.
If there's a 10 round limit... the same for them
etc

^^THIS!

A whole bunch of years ago, there was a suggestion (never made it even to being a bill before a committee) that EMTs and medics should be able to carry on the job and that they should be exempt from the law at the time that forbade guns on school campuses unless carried by the Only Ones.

This would have opened it up for me, but I spoke against it. I don't want "legal for me but not for thee".... I want "not unlawful", full stop. There is no magic line that surrounds a place called a "school" that makes evil people suddenly good and good people suddenly evil, which is to say that if I don't go around shooting up the various places I go, I won't do it at a school, either, and a person who doesn't respect the lives and property of others isn't going to start, and thus will still be a threat, after he or she crosses that line into a school zone.The former need to be encouraged, while the latter, the criminals, need to have something in place to deter them.

Looking down the barrel of a weapon pointed at you because you're causing mayhem is an effective deterrent in many cases.

Blessings,
Bill

The only thing government should be allowed to do as pertaining to "Rights" is strictly enforcing them.

Agree RR.

We can only be taken down from the inside.
